Thanks for thinking about this, Jacqueline. The problem persists.
From all you've tried so far, it does look like the selected text isn't

Hi again, Jacqueline! Thanks for keeping up this dialog.
You said:
By convention, a UTF-8 file doesn't use a BOM.
When I save my Unicode files as UTF-8 text (from the Windows Notepad or
Dreamweaver, for example), the files do have a BOM. I found that when I read
them into LC variables, I have

Am I doing something wrong or is this a known bug?

There is no workaround. This simply doesn't work. Let's hope that the unicode
overhaul in 4.5 changes this.
However, you can use AppleScript or VBScript and create a complete parallel
file handling system. E.g. use AppleScript to read data from a file and then
